I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 28 Disaster
At noon, we found a sand boat carrying a large amount of local products, with its bow heading away from the depths of the sand plain. After confirming the destination, the team boarded the boat.

Although this sand boat does not go directly to the stream area, it is still no problem to take the team away from the periphery of the sand plain.

"You have to think twice before taking any action, and don't show off."

Below the sand boat, Wood admonished.

"Don't forget the teachings of Cat School, Duo Duo Meow!"

Ah Ju shouted to remind.

"I know, meow! Aju meow!"

Midoduo, who was lying on the bulwark, waved his claws in response.

"Say hello to the guild members of Yugumo branch for me! Happy journey to the ruthless team!"

Shireen waved goodbye.

With a gust of wind and sand flying, the raised sail of the sand boat swelled and slowly slid forward.

"I will. Take care, everyone. I will come back to see you when I have the chance."

Li Ming waved in response.

After a while, the sandstone cave stronghold built in the mountains disappeared from sight.

Bang~ bang!
The sand boat that continued to accelerate jumped up slightly, and then fell into the sand, causing a jolt.

"Li Ming, do you feel it?"

Chuying looked curious.

"Yes, it's so fast. It feels much faster than the sand boats I rode in before."

Li Ming expressed his feelings.

"Perhaps the route away from Sand Plains is more suitable for high-speed navigation."

Chuying gave a guess.

"This Miss Hunter has misunderstood. Our crew used to fly airships, so the speed is slightly faster. This is all a small scene."

The crewman carrying the cargo box was halfway talking, bang! bang!Two more violent bumps.

Li Ming quickly supported the crew member's arm to prevent him from falling.

"It's a good chance. Thank you very much, hunter."

"It's okay. Where can I take the airship you just mentioned?"

Li Ming asked.

"Is this your first time traveling far, hunter brother?"

the crew member asked rhetorically.

"Yes."

"So it turns out, airships have been in decline for some years. At the peak of that year, Longliyuan not only developed the Dragon Sense Ship, but the guild also opened up air channels with hunting airships. However, since the Tianhui Dragon crusade failed, Longliyuan After the guild suffered heavy losses, the safety of airways was completely lost, and the entire airship industry also declined."

The crew member gave an explanation with a sad look on his face.

"It's not like all of them are gone, right?"

Li Ming asked tentatively.

"Yes, yes, but either the ship is escorted by a fierce hunter, or the owner of the airship is a fierce hunter himself. Now it is impossible for our crew to complete any voyage safely.

Said the crew.

"I understand, if there is no safe air route, just use your hands to create one."

Li Ming expressed his understanding.

"Haha, you know how to deal with fierce hunters. Let's go and get busy."

The crew smiled happily.

The sand boat traveled quickly for a day and a night and stopped at a freight transfer station.

The team disembarked and walked for nearly a day according to the planned route. Finally, after climbing over a towering dim mountain, they saw an endless green plain.

After cleaning up the sand and dust accumulated in the armored weapons, the team rushed to the nearby cargo transfer station in an environment where the smell of grass was flying in the wind.

We boarded a minibus pulled by two herbivorous dragons.

The herbivorous dragon walks slowly and moves a bit slowly, but the riding experience is much smoother than that of a sand boat.

The most important thing is that compared to walking, the weapons and materials carried on the back can also be removed.

The only drawback is that this is a private car, which not only charges a fee, but also charges 150z for one person and one cat.

Two days later, we arrived at the next transfer point.

At this time, the plain landform has disappeared, surrounded by mountains and rapid rivers.

The ones responsible for towing this time were two Maru Birds with bright feathers.

The car owner said that he could take the ruthless team to the Jieyun underground cave branch for free without paying.

However, if you are attacked by monsters along the way, I hope you can help.

After all, the transportation profit of a small truck cannot afford the cost of escorting a hunter at all.

In addition, the ride experience in the truck may not be that good. If the team wants to travel together, they will have to make do with it.

"Don't worry, uncle, we are in the wild sand plains, and the environment is much harsher than this."

Li Ming informed.

"That's good, the four of you can go up there."

The uncle driver pointed to the top of the stacked cargo boxes.

The ruthless team grabbed the cables that tied and fixed the cargo box and climbed to the top.

Mi Duoduo, who was leaning against the cargo box, took out his notepad and flipped through it for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh: "Huh~ there are so many creatures and environments that I have never seen before, meow."

"It'll be good to get used to it slowly. I didn't know any species before."

Li Ming informed.

"Have you ever been to many places?"

Chuying asked.

"That's right, but that was all a long time ago, and the memory is a bit fuzzy."

Li Ming informed.

bark~
The log wheel suddenly stopped.

"Is there something abnormal?"

Chuying picked up the iron assault crossbow erected at her side and looked carefully at the surrounding trees.

Thinking that he had not encountered any threats along the way, Li Ming couldn't help but feel a little nervous, so he reached out and grasped the hilt of the energy sword.

"No, you are in for a treat tonight."

The uncle coachman said in a relaxed tone.

puff~
The stiff Marutori shook his butt, and an oval white giant egg slid to the ground.

"Ok?"

The vigilant Li Ming and Chu Ying were stunned when they saw this.

"I'll treat you to boiled balls and eggs for dinner."

The uncle driver jumped out of the truck, patted Marutori's back gently, and then calmly picked up the dome.

Early the next morning, Li Ming woke up from sleeping on the cargo box.

At this time, the area where the team was lying was covered by a tarpaulin.

The light fresh air in the air and the feeling of being wrapped in moisture made Li Ming feel that it might have rained last night, so the driver and his cargo were covered with it.

The truck is still moving.

The longer you stay in the wild, the more danger you will face.

Similar trucks usually travel day and night, and this driver is no exception.

After dinner, he drank two bottles of refreshing drinks, saying that he must arrive at the Yugumo branch before noon tomorrow.

Li Ming stood up and bent down to get out of the edge of the tarpaulin.

Before he could ask about his current location, his attention was attracted by the thick and strange gray clouds in the sky.

No matter how dense the regular dark clouds are, they will only block the sunlight.

But the center of the dark cloud here is in the form of a spiral sinking, swallowing up the tallest mountain peak in the distance.

Above the strange clouds, the gray clouds extending outward were all twisted into curves, rolling back and forth against the clouds.

The whole scene looked like the sky was falling and the world was upside down. "Wake up, I think we'll be there by noon."

The uncle coachman said, moving his sore shoulders.

"Uncle, is that the habitat of the mist dragon?"

Li Ming pointed to the distance and asked.

"Yes, that's Lingfeng. I was shocked when I saw it for the first time. I was the same. Before I took this route, I was always afraid that it would suddenly attack me. Now that it has been a long time, I don't have so many worries anymore."

As the uncle spoke, he suddenly sighed with some disappointment: "The former Jieyun Village was destroyed by it. It's a pity that the crusade failed. Maybe it won't change anything."

"why?"

Li Ming didn't understand why the uncle was so negative.

"If Lanlong disappears, other monsters will occupy the stream. In terms of the ability to withstand natural disasters, people living nearby have gradually adapted to common storms, floods and landslides."

The uncle driver said, looking at the leather airbags installed around the truck.

These airbags can turn the truck into a drifting boat and are specially designed to prevent floods.

"This"

Li Ming didn't know what to say for a moment.

In terms of survival, resisting only one natural disaster for a long time is indeed much better than taking turns.

But I still feel a little sad in my heart.

Not long after, the other members woke up one after another, and were particularly shocked by the huge storm group in the distance.

The drizzle stopped at noon, the clouds cracked with countless golden cracks, and the long-lost sunshine shone down.

The number of vehicles towed by Marutori gradually increased on the muddy road, and there were also many hunters among them.

The truck drove over a wooden arch bridge.

A dam-shaped building made of logs tied together stands in front.

Entering through the opening below the dam, a lively market street emerges in front of you.

"Thank you for your escort."

The driver uncle waved goodbye.

"Uncle, you have to be more careful when you return."

Li Ming bid farewell to the coachman uncle and crossed two more dams under the guidance of road signs.

Finally, we stepped on the stone steps and continued to explore, and finally arrived at the Yuyun underground cave branch.

As soon as they entered the guild hall, the team was surprised by the layout.

Half of the area is a normal round table dining area, and the other half is a stone hot spring pool.

"We're not in the wrong place."

Chuying saw the poster on the wall prohibiting poaching, and then she confirmed that she had indeed come to the guild hall.

"Welcome to the Yugumo Underground Cave Branch!"

The female receptionist in a green uniform shook her arms vigorously and shouted enthusiastically.

"What's your name?"

Li Ming asked tentatively.

"Just call me Metty."

"Hello Miss Metty, I have a circulation contract, which was issued here. I would like you to see if it is possible to continue the mission."

Li Ming said, unfolding the contract and handing it out.

"If there's no problem Blue Bearmon, wait a moment, I'll go over the contract record."

After a short search, Metty moved an extremely heavy book to the counter with some difficulty.

bang~
Waving away the dust stirred up by the book with her hand, Metty quickly compared and flipped through the pages according to the [Green Bear Beast with a Big Appetite] contract.

"Since this contract was released, there has been no update of information. However, field investigators submitted a sighting report of the individual with scars on the left arm armor two weeks ago. The sighting location was near the stream and waterfall marked on the contract. It matches, so this contract is valid.”

After Metty confirmed it, the team all breathed a sigh of relief.

It stands to reason that if there happens to be an overrun of green bear beasts in the area, it is possible to receive a hunting contract.

But the problem is that there is no subsidy and there is also a time limit.

After confirming the intelligence, Metty sent an updated map of the stream area.

"Wait! Huh! It's so dangerous. I almost didn't mention the most important reminder. If you see golden lightning appearing in the clouds at the top of Lingfeng, please be sure to suspend hunting and go to higher ground as soon as possible to avoid floods. In addition, Thunder Wolf Dragon and Pao Fox The dragon is moving in the stream area, please be careful, team."

Metty informed with a serious expression.

"We will. Can you tell us why?"

Li Ming asked tentatively.

"The guild has not come to a conclusion yet. It just draws a rule based on observations. When the golden thunder light appears at the top of Lingfeng, the surrounding rainfall will increase dramatically."

Metty informed.

"I know, we will pay more attention."

The next process is basically the same as the Sandstone Cave branch, receiving supplies.

"Brother, this tent seems to be moldy."

In front of the guild warehouse, Li Ming pointed to the simple tent and said.

"This hunter, it seems, it is moldy, but I can't help it. Every tent has moldy spots, but the area is different. How about I replace it for you?"

The middle-aged male warehouse manager said helplessly.

"Forget it, this inflatable suit is used to resist floods?"

Li Ming picked up the strange armor full of air bags.

"Yes, remember not to poke it with sharp objects, especially sharp hunting weapons."

The warehouse manager reminded emphatically.

"It's clear, are recent stream disasters commonplace?"

"The frequency is okay, about once a month, but when there is golden lightning on Lingfeng, you must go to higher ground as soon as possible, because floods will come soon."

"Thank you."

Li Ming determined that this sign of disaster has formed a consensus in the stream area, but the reason is still a mystery.

"Well, I wish the team a successful hunt and a speedy return."

The warehouse manager did not forget to send his blessings.

Return to the hall with the supplies you received, and the combat deployment begins.

"In such a harsh environment, it is better to minimize large-scale movements in the wild. I suggest that after arriving in the hunting area, you first kill a few wild bird birds as meat reserves, then collect the entire hive, and then use the hive as bait. Come and set up a trap and wait until the Blue Bear Beast appears automatically."

Li Ming told the deployment.

"I agree, but there is no beehive mark on the map, and there doesn't seem to be anyone in the team who knows how to pick beehives."

Chu Ying looked at the map spread out on the table and said.

"Can't you just take it off?"

After Li Ming finished speaking, a man and two cats at the same table looked at him in surprise.

"very dangerous?"

"It's very dangerous, cat. I've experienced it myself."

Bubu said with a solemn expression, as if some bad memories had been brought back.

Li Ming speculated that maybe the bees in the monster hunting world were also extraordinary.

"It's okay, there's so much mud here, leave it to me to pick the hives."

Li Ming said confidently.

"Then let's set off now? If we arrive at the scheduled location and set up camp before tomorrow morning, we can start hunting preparations after half a day's rest."

Chuying's suggestion was quickly adopted by the whole team.

The deployment plan was finalized and the team set off.

At night, the clouds fade away and the sky is starry.

The chirping of insects continued, and the light yellow light ball danced in the jungle.

The stream area comes back to life.

In the mountain jungle shrouded in the quiet moonlight, the team kept moving forward in the mud, rushing all night.
